Giants reach two-year deal with Tim Hudson

The San Francisco Giants have added veteran right hander Tim Hudson to their rotation.

Hudson, 38, reached a two-year agreement with the Giants worth $23 million. He will join a Giants rotation behind Matt Cain, Madison Bumgartner, and Tim Lincecum who re-upped with the Giants in late October.

The 2013 season ended for Hudson with a 3.97 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP over 131 1/3 innings of work. He suffered a broken ankle late in the season while trying to cover first base. All signs point to him being ready to go for the start of spring training which should provide the Giants with a steady arm at the back end of their rotation.
